Sky-Watcher 127mm AZ-Go2 Maksutov Cassegrain
The Sky-Watcher 127/1500 Maksutov Cassegrain is a fully automatic telescope ideal for beginners and those who want to get straight to observing. Aligning the mount takes mere minutes with the “Bright Object” alignment mode with the computerised SynScan system that allows automatic pointing and tracking of more than 42,000 object in the sky! This means less time spent finding a faint nebula or a distant planet and more time to enjoy observing. Astronomy has never been so easy!
The Maksutov-Cassegrain is a compact and powerful optical design that combines a front meniscus lens and two mirrors. The optical tube is closed by the front meniscus, keeping the mirrors protected from atmospheric agents such as humidity, dust and pollution. The tube is short but the focal length is long allowing high magnification with the standard eyepieces. With maximum practical magnification of 256x , this Sky-Watcher Telescope will reveal details in Saturn’s rings, Jupiter’s bands, the Martian polar ice caps, and the phases of Venus and the moon.
The AZ-Go2 Mount – Wi-Fi-controllable with iOS and Android devices and compatible with the SynScan hand controller, offers smooth tracking and fast alignment. Use Wi-Fi to control the telescope wirelessly with your mobile device, either a smartphone or tablet.
